                    quantification

• extract: extract cell and feature barcodes from paired fastq files. For single cell assays, read 1 usually contains cell partitioning and UMI information, and read 2 contains feature information.
• map: quantify enriched transcripts (through hybridization or PCR amplification) from parent single cell libraries. Read 1 contains cell partitioning and UMI information, and read 2 contains transcribed regions of enriched/targeted transcripts of interest. BWA (Li, H. 2013) or Bowtie2 (Langmead, B., et al. 2012) is used for read 2 alignment. The quantification (UMI deduplication) of enriched/targeted transcripts is powered by UMI-tools (Smith, T., et al. 2017).
• filter: filter extracted cell and feature barcodes (output of extract or qc). Additional fragment filter/selection can be applied through -cb_seq and/or -fb_seq.
• count: count UMIs per feature per cell (UMI deduplication), powered by UMI-tools (Smith, T., et al. 2017). Take the output of extract or filter as input.
• demultiplex: demultiplex cells based on the abundance of features (matrix generated by count as input).
• qc: generate diagnostic information. If -1 is omitted, bulk mode is enabled and only read 2 will be analyzed.
• kallisto_wrapper: deploy kallisto/bustools for feature barcoding quantification (just a wrapper) (Bray, N.L., et al. 2016).
